A Special Child

...this is a portion of a sweet poem my sister sent me during this time...

He may not run or laugh or play.
His thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways he won't adapt.
And he'll be known as handicapped.

Please Lord, find the parents who will do a special job for you.

They will not realize right away
The leading role they're asked to play.
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger faith and richer love.

If I could see beyond today...
would I trust and still not fear?

Though billowing clouds form in the sky...
and a storm brews winds so strong...

Barely able to withstand it all...
a rainbow peeks within...

A ray of sunshine...
glistens through the clouds...

...a calm has come...peace be still...

If I could see beyond today...
Would my eyes see with my heart?

Eyes of faith...and a heart full of hope.

Mark chpt. 4 verse 39
And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
